What band have you seen the most?

[Adam]

Been trying to think.

Its either Wildhearts, NOFX or [Spunge].

All of them rock, Wildhearts are the most consistent with their gigs though - doesn't matter if they play a broom cupboard or a festival stage they ALWAYS get it right (y)

edit: actually it might be Drop Kick Murphys. I can't believe how forgetful I am.

[Videodrome]

easily the black keys. i've seen them close to 20 times.

[Lyman Zerga]

u2 2 times

[Adam]

u2 2 times

I'm sorry, did you recover?

I see a lot of local bands constantly, so it is very difficult to facor just one. I have seen a bunch of local bands at least literally 20 - 30 times because
they open for larger bands and eachother. Other than that:

I've probably seen the pietasters like 15 times, the business 8 times, dropkick murphys 5 times (years ago), body count 4 times, rancid 6 times and met them 3 times (i'm not even really a fan). Beastie Boys like 8 times. Bloodhound Gang before anyone knew who they were like 4 times, NRSV like 10 times probably. too many to name

I've probably seen Murphy's Law about 150 times.

[taquitos]

phish

They usually have weekend long events, correct? I heard the amount and quality of drugs at those things are staggering. Me almost want to go.

yeah, I meant national touring bands. I've seen local bands and the same members in different bands loads of times, plus they change their names every gig so its impossible to keep up anyway.

I saw Metallica 3 times in one year once, fuckers followed me about - I think that is the most I've seen one band in the same year. I'm not even a massive fan of them.

I've seen [Spunge] about 4 or 5 times. Always a laugh (y)

[Dorothy Wood]

I've seen some local bands loads of times. as for nationally touring bands...let's see....

Beastie Boys, 3 times

Les Savy Fav, 3 times

Flaming Lips, 3 times

Metallica, 2 times

Beck, 2 times

I don't really go to many big shows.

[HEIRESS]

Bobby Dylan: three times

Matt Mays: three times

[Whatitis]

Slayer - 10+

Beasties - 6

Tool - 5

[paul jones]

Super Furry Animals, erm....at least 10 + times I think.

I've got a box full of all my tickets covering 22 years but I'm not going to start going through them all right now

[jabumbo]

they might be giants x4

bob dylan x3



i've only had one good concert going friend, and once she graduated from college, she disappeared into the world of working strange shifts and getting married so she never comes out anymore.

[AceFace]

i've seen the Pietasters over 30 times. they're semi local and come around about twice a year. i've been seeing them for about 15 years now. i'm finally getting tired of seeing them. they'll be here in june. i'll probably go anyway. :)

I've seen them but can't remember where. So they've been in the UK at some point for something or other (probably a festival). So not too local.

[Fern]

They are like one of my favorite bands, even though I dont really like ska. Them and MM Bosstones

[Waus]

Eels x2
Metallica x2

Sigh :(

[Adam]

MM Bosstones

Oh shit, forgot about them - I bet its about 10 years since I saw them - at a festival. I love ska. Mad Caddies do it all for me. Same with Reel Big Fish et al.

So are the MM Bosstones still going? I'll check wiki.

[Guy Incognito]

orbital x 5 - soon to be 6 in september!

chemical brothers - seen em dj loads and in concert 4 times

just realised i have seen goldie lookin chain 5 times, twice in manchester, 3 times at glasto including two gigs on same day but different stages

[Lyman Zerga]

I'm sorry, did you recover?

eat shit and i want to see them again (aslong as my sister pays for the tickets)

[MIKEtotheD]

Beastie Boys x 3
Three Days Grace x 3
Alexisonfire x 2

Most other bands I've only seen once or they're local and unknown.

[thegoodmrbrodie!]

BATTLES.

8 or 9 times. i think.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Everclear 4 or 5 times...Beck twice... GZA twice...

[scotty]

I've seen alot of Aussie bands multiple times just doing the festival rounds and as supports and stuff. Spiderbait, You Am I, SFK, stuff like that.

Magic Dirt are probably the band I've made an effort to see the most, 10-15 times including the gigs where my band supported them years ago. Mostly in their early days to, up to when they toured you and full of the devil. God they were good back then.

[paul jones]

Spiderbait

Magic Dirt .

I've played pool against Kram of Spiderbait at the Public Bar in Melbourne and have hung out with Adam from Magic Dirt a few times on my many aussie holidays(y)

[AceFace]

no no. local as in they're from this area. started at VA Tech (near where i live) and then they relocated to Washington DC. they still hit the old stomping grounds twice a year.

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

Also The Presidents Of The United States Of America twice...those guys put on a hell of a show. (y)

[DIGI]

ween.

:eek:


....and maybe beasties and deftones.

[NoFenders]

I've seen the Grateful Dead 37 times.

I saw somebody mentioned They Might Be Giants. I've seen them 5 times.

Others worth mentioning would be Widespread Panic 9 times, David Byrne 5 times, WILCO over 10 times.

[Caribou]

Kaizers Orchestra. I've seen them 7 times, and 4 times last year.

Shared 2nd place is probably for Radiohead, Gogol Bordello and Jamie Lidell, who I've all seen 4 times.

There are always a some bands that play at every festival in the country and that I might've seen more times, but I don't really care too much about them.

[b-grrrlie]

I've seen Beastie Boys, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Nomads about 20 times or more, Iggy Pop, the Plastic Pals,
22 Pistepirkko, Robert Johnson and the Punchdrunks, Division of Laura Lee, Soundtrack of Our Lives and maybe a few others 10-20 times,
and loads of others loads of times... would need to go through all my calendars through the years to make the count....
These names are just the resent that I can come up with off hand.

[NoFenders]

^ sweet!

[easy 3]

It's cool to see the Pietasters getting mentioned - I really like that Willis album but I've only seen them twice (and that was about 10 years ago now) - I'm not sure how many times they've played the UK?

I've seen Sick of it All 10 times, The Beasties 7 times, and The Slackers and the Bouncing Souls about 7 or 8 times each.

I've probably seen my sister's band (a London-based band called Dear Thief) about 50+ times by now.

i like your taste!

i've probably seen bouncing souls about that many times. the slackers at least 3 times. saw sick of it all once, i think, way back when.

[kll]

the grateful dead - 25 times (not counting jgb, ratdog, etc.) then phish and dave matthews

next beastie boys

then beck

then bon jovi and skid row

[Rock]

Roots
Beatsies
Sonic Youth

Don't know the count but I'm sure I have seen them the most..in that order.

[fucktopgirl]

I have only see once all the band i saw.

[Randetica]

I have only see once all the band i saw.

haha

[gbsuey]

that would be New Model Army- i did the entire tour around the U.K like a bazillion years ago. Although as i have seen the support band (the Levellers) at other gigs too i think it would mean i have seen them more-roughly 14 times. What can i say:o

I think apart from Beasties, the rest are all just the one time

[MC Moot]

The Tragically Hip then Pavement then Sonic Youth...all more than 10...

[cosmo105]

Rilo Kiley a ton, DCFC a bunch, Yeah Yeah Yeahs twice, Beasties thrice (or is it four? i don't even remember anymore), the Hives twice, the Aquabats probably 4 times? something along those lines. oh, and ted leo three times now.
